Storyline

After the helicopter failed to break out Whistler, Sona's new commander, Panamanian general Zavala, decides to make Michael talk by putting him into the sun-exposed isolation hot-box, promises to help in exchange for the truth, verifies the L.J-situation and is told it's about Whistler, who already realized the tunnel is a no-go without engineer Schofield but denies blatantly to Zavala- and is threatened with torture until he admits to collaborating with Michael, who convinces him next to give up Gretchen Morgen's name. Linc was meanwhile shown L.J., alive, as motivation. Malone is back in Sona, desperate without his drug. T-bag and his allies are mainly concerned with Lechero's expected succession and another bare-knuckle fight, won by Brad Bellick.

Very disappointed in this episode

I'm very sad to say that this episode disappointed me completely.I was a huge fan of this TV series but the makers insist to long things up. This episode, i think it's one of the worst in the hole "Prison break". I mean one of the biggest mistakes is how the biggest general in Panama who controls all of this country and destroyed the Cocaine Lord, go'es to search Lincoln's son with only a car and just one man when he knew that the Company "knows all and sees all"?.And at the end they are let to get back into Sona without a questioning because again: it was the greatest general in Panama.I think the the scenarists should think in giving the serial a superb ending not a story that in some time no one will remember.
